36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."

37 He answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

36 Katahi ka mahue i a Ihu te mano, ka tomo ia ki te whare: na ka haere mai ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, Whakaaturia mai ki a matou te kupu i whakaritea ki nga taru i te mara.

37 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kairui o te purapura pai ko te Tama a te tangata;

38 Ko te mara ko te ao; ko te purapura pai ko nga tamariki o te rangatiratanga; nga taru ko nga tamariki a te kino;

39 Ko te hoariri i ruia ai ko te rewera; te kotinga ko te mutunga o te ao; nga kaikokoti ko nga anahera.

40 Na e huihuia ana nga taru, e tahuna ana ki te ahi; ka pera ano i te mutunga o tenei ao.

41 Ka tono te Tama a te tangata i ana anahera ki te huihui i roto i tona rangatiratanga i nga mea katoa e tutuki ai te waewae, i nga kaimahi ano i te kino;

42 A ka maka e ratou ki roto ki te oumu ahi; ko te wahi tera o te tangi me te tetea o nga niho.

43 Ko reira te hunga tika whiti ai me te ra i te rangatiratanga o to ratou Matua. Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
